“Well, only if you don’t consider isolated miners on a moon surrounded by electrical storms to be unfriendly,” Keval said. “Other that than, we should be okay.”

“Douglas,” Vras said, looking over at the science cadet. “Anything in those logs? (OOC: I would suggest giving some detail about which logs you are trying to access, how your character is approaching it, etc. - it can sometimes have an affect on the GM’s response.)

“Greiss, pull up the sensors of the tunnels and see if you can find where our fellow crew members are crawling around… and where the tunnel collapse is.”

-Lt. Keval Vras, CE

Winston walked over to a console on the other side of the room and began searching through the readouts. “These miners sure need to brush up on their interface organization skills…” He mumbled as he sorted through the cluttered array of mineral records and equipment documents. “Ah! Here we are.” He squinted at the map of the tunnels until he located a group of life signs. “Looks like two groups are headed through the fourth tunnel.”

“Aye,” Douglas tried to access the logs of all meteorological scans and anomalies over the past 100 days, as well as all structural logs and anomalies over the same time period.

Weather-wise there was nothing at all unusual other than the electrical storms that plagued the moon.

“Ok, nothing we didn’t know on weather.”

For structural analysis, it appears that there was some sort of gas sensor that went off before the explosion but was manually disabled. A good working theory would be that someone turned off the sensor and a piece of machinery sparked some sort of explosion that shook the complex.

“Right, ah, looks like a gas sensor was manually disabled before an explosion, disabling this system may have caused the explosion.” Douglas said whilst squinting at the logs for details.

“Can you find exactly when it was disabled?” Greiss questioned from across the room as he instinctively began reorganizing the miners’ database. “I doubt that anyone, or anything, would attempt to shut off a gas sensor in person. By that line of thought, if we know the time it was deactivated, we might be able to find some kind of clue in the internal logs.”

“Just a moment.” Douglas tries to read through the logs he brought up for specific timing of the events.

Keval came over to Douglas’s station. “Someone turned off the sensor right before an explosion took place? This mine collapse could have been a deliberate act. Keep searching, cadet.”

The Andorian turned to Greiss. “Keep tracking our teams, and pull up the status of all sensors in the tunnel. I want to know if any of them are still disabled.”

As the cadets got to work, Keval tapped his communicator, and opened a channel to Challenger and both of the other away teams. =^= This is Lt. Vras. It is possible some sensors may have been tampered with that allowed for a mine explosion to take place. We are still reviewing the circumstances and the current status of the mine sensors. It is possible this may have been a deliberate act. Take all caution while in the mine. =^=

-Lt. Keval Vras, CE

=^= Nijix to Lt. Vras. I’m starting to suspect that myself. I’ve already notified my teams to be careful and report any odd behavior. The more pieces of this puzzle we have, the better.=^=

  • Lt. Nijix Tavium, CoS

“Oh!” Greiss exclaimed. “Sir! Sir! One of our teams has found somebody. Bolian by the looks of these life sign readings.” He pointed to a fuzzy dot on one of the monitors.
Miniscule as the discovery had been, he had to sell to his superior that he was very capable, or at least he thought he needed to.
